Review of Teasing Master Takagi-san

Sorry for the mistakes. English is not my first language It's my first review. Story: 4/10 The story is simple and uncompromising. This must be respected, but it will never justify not being good. Basically you have a kid who is constantly trolled for a girl and wants to change that, but it's always trolled again in the end. And this is repeated over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. The problem is not just having a formula but especially repeating 3 times per episode. It is extremely repetitive and rarely any moment of humor is creative. If romance is just a heap of randomand predictable moments (with a few exceptions) that do not make much difference if they don't exist and is not going anywhere, so it's not a well-developed romance, and romantic or sensual insinuations are just one useless plus. The goal is just to show situations that should be funny. Sometimes between a skit and another one, there's a trio of random girls talking about random things, and I'll never understand the point in their existence.
It's no use having a simple base and doing nothing with it. It's almost the same as Yuru Camp, another anime from the same season that has a simple idea but does nothing creative or memorable inside it, but is considered a masterpiece because "it's cute".
Some people are comparing with Tonari no Seki-kun, which is also largely centered on simple (but not very straightforward) interactions involving two characters of different sexes, but this one is not so repetitive, it's more original, humor is more creative and the reactions of the characters are not so predictable.
Anyway, the ending was cool.

Art: 6/10
It's "ok". Remember: cuteness is not an automatic synonym of excellent art. The character figures are very shallow. The animation is not very important in this context, but it did not seem so good at some necessary moments (like in a racing scene).

Sound: 6/10
It's "ok". Music and voice acting are forgettable, but they have not done a bad job.

Characters: 3/10
A dumb boy with a girl you'll only remember for being a smiling troll and having a big forehead. Without good characterization, (explicit) development or chemistry that makes a lot of sense, and reactions to situations are predictable (even if many jokes are not). Many one-dimensional characters from animations are functional within their contexts and they can be charismatic and memorable for some reason, not the case of these characters. I do not find it very comfortable to watch everything from the point of view of the boy who is always being "victimized" in situations and the fact that the pranksters only work to one side.
And the 3 random girls are ... just 3 stupid random girls.

Enjoyment: 4/10
It is not detestable, but it has a formula that wears out very fast and becomes a boring experience to me.

Overall: 4/10.
It's not so bad because some moments can still be fun, but why is it still not a good anime, if it's unpretentious and supposedly we should not be rigid? Some genres of this anime include romance, comedy, school and slice of life. Failed as a comedy because it is repetitive and uncreative, fails as a romance because it is just "bait", school is just a scenario that could easily be replaced, and it's a normal slice of life. The result? A bad anime.

I do not recommend it unless you can easily enjoy any romantic school comedy or be part of a select group of people who love to see little girls commenting about their own body.
In other cases, I would recommend watching Tonari no Seki-kun.
